Wintermute CEO: Will Keep Holding ETH for Culture and Meme
On March 15th, Wintermute founder and CEO Evgeny Gaevoy said: “The Ethereum Foundation put out a mission statement, and what I’m seeing more of is criticism than celebration— which makes sense. After all, most of us in crypto have ‘transitioned’ into the existing world system.”
More seriously, right now the Ethereum Foundation is the only player with both resources and network effects that can not only keep the cypherpunk dream alive but actually make it a reality. Will this show up in ETH’s price short-term? Definitely not. Long-term? Only if it succeeds. Should we even care about price? Personally, I think the goal matters more.
I firmly believe someone needs to try to achieve this goal at a macro level, instead of just chasing purely financial use cases. Others can stick to what they’re doing and decide whether to hold ETH. To be honest, long-term holding is a big, long-term bet—but compared to other less worthy beliefs, this one’s worth it. So I’ll keep holding my ETH for the

Israeli Military Spokesperson: Military Action Against Iran to Continue for at Least Three More Weeks
According to CNN, an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson said on March 15 that military operations against Iran will continue for at least another three weeks, with thousands of targets still unaddressed.
IDF spokesperson Defrin stated: “We still have thousands of targets ahead of us. We’re prepared, coordinating with our U.S. allies, and our operational plan covers at least through the Jewish Passover (roughly three weeks from now). After that, we have plans for an additional three weeks or more of operations.”
Defrin noted the IDF is focused on achieving its objectives—not adhering to a timeline—and added Israel’s goal is to “severely weaken the Iranian regime.”

Analysis: Iran's Oil Export Hub on Kharg Island Attacked, Oil Price Volatility Could Further Increase
March 15th: The oil market is bracing for potential sharp swings next week after a U.S. strike on Iran’s key oil export hub, Kharg Island—ramping up concerns over Middle East supply disruptions.
U.S. President Trump warned that attacks on energy infrastructure could escalate further if Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, while Tehran threatened retaliation against U.S.-linked energy facilities.
Brent crude jumped 11% last week, briefly hitting $119.50 a barrel amid escalating tensions. Analysts expect oil price volatility to rise further as the status of Kharg Island remains uncertain.
Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is nearly at a standstill. The waterway handles a large share of global oil shipments; blockages here would squeeze global energy supplies and push fuel prices higher worldwide.

OKX Clarification: Wuhan Anjun Technology Attack Incident is Not a Security Vulnerability of OKX Web3 Wallet
On March 15, OKX founder and CEO Star addressed the "hacker attack incident by the Wuhan Anjun Technology team exploiting plugin vulnerabilities." He clarified two key points:
1. The incident does **not** stem from a security vulnerability in the OKX Web3 Wallet. Instead, hackers compromised users’ devices via trojan horse software, tampered with webpage JS code to implant malicious hooks, or monitored keyboard inputs to steal locally stored encryption files and passwords.
2. The OKX Web3 Wallet is a **fully self-hosted wallet**—private keys and passwords only reside on the user’s own device, and OKX has no access to or control over user assets. If a user’s device is already compromised, no wallet (including MetaMask) can guarantee security; this is analogous to a thief being able to operate your computer and view all your keyboard inputs.
Users are advised to: avoid installing software/plugins from unknown sources, regularly check devices for security risks, and safeguard the
